Major
Cybersecurity

Why I chose my major
I chose cybersecurity because I have always been fascinated with technology, and I wanted to go into a career where I know I will never have a boring day at work. I really enjoy learning the different tools I can use to become an ethical hacker that will be useful in my future career one day.

Involvement
I'm involved with Student Ambassador Society, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), SHPEtinas, and Hispanic American Leadership Organization (HALO).

Why I chose Wichita State
I chose Wichita State because they provide tons of opportunities for students to get applied learning experience. They have various companies right here on campus that offer internships so that I can get the experience I need before I graduate.

Favorite thing about WSU
My favorite thing about Wichita State is the sense of community here! There are tons of clubs and organizations for everyone to have a chance to find "their people." Wichita State also holds many events throughout the year to allow students to go out, have fun, and get to know new people and potential friends!
